I remember when iTunes Music Store first came online, I read a statement that it was going to be .99 cents per song and $9.99 per album, and that Apple was not going to do any different agreements with different labels. Labels were being told (supposedly) “take it or leave it.” However, I’m seeing more and more releases coming online with “By Song Only,” at .99 cents per song, and no album price. A number of releases from the Mountain Apple Company, Hawai’i largest music label and distributor, have come out, and they are all listed as “By Song Only” and at .99 cents per song. I’m wondering what happened.
Some iTMS releases not $9.99 an album anymore.
